Reviews
We were lucky on the day of the boat ride, encountering Seattle's rare blue sky. From the harbor, we could directly see Seattle's skyline. Experiencing the boat elevator was a novel and unique feeling.
The weather was great and the scenery on the sea was beautiful. The two-hour voyage was very fulfilling. I loved this trip and was very impressed!
Highly recommended tour! You can see many famous attractions from the cruise and listen to a very detailed introduction (in English) to learn more about local tourism information. However, there are two things to note: First, this is a one-way ticket, and the starting and ending points are more than 2 kilometers apart. You can purchase a bus ticket or walk. Second, the starting and ending points of the cruise are different depending on the direction, so you need to confirm where to board.
Loved our tour guide! Perfect weather too!
The onboard experience was great. If you're boarding, remember to board at Pier 55. Pier 54 is currently closed (it's right next door).
The Klook email stated the meeting point was Pier 54, but it was actually at Union Lake, which almost made us late. We had to take an Uber to catch the boat! This is outrageous! Such crucial information shouldn't be wrong!
